Essential Information

1767 Solano Ave.
Berkeley, CA

510-524-1677

This sophisticated, elegant take on traditional cuisine features delicacies from Northern China with a gourmet flair. Start your meal with a bowl of hot and sour soup—it’s tangy and peppery with just enough kick to wake your taste buds—and a plate of expertly fried pot stickers stuffed full with fresh pork and spices. Standout entrees include three pepper prawns, black bean chicken and cherry pork—all of them rich in flavor and originality. If you’re lucky, you’ll be seated by the kitchen and can watch chefs flip and fry woks full of veggies and meat through a steamy sheet of glass. But no matter where you end up, you can count on efficient team service that lets no water glass drop below half full and no dirty plate linger on the table. Lunch Mon.–Sat. Dinner daily.
